warren buffett's secretary shouldn't pay a higher tax rate than warren buffett. a teacher or a nurse or a construction worker making $50,000 a year shouldn't pay higher tax rates than somebody making $50 million. that's just common sense. and keep in mind, i'm not saying this because we should be punishing success. this is the land of opportunity, but what's also a quintessentially american idea is that those of us who have done well should pay our fair share to contribute to the upkeep of the nation that made our success possible. i've talked to, and most wealthy americans agree with this. of course the republicans in congress, they call this class warfare. you know what, if asking a millionaire to pay the same tax rate as a plumber makes me a class warrior, a warrior for the working class, i will accept that. i will wear that charge as a badge of honor. >> you want to know why the president says he is willing to wear that charge? the charge of being a class warrior as a badge of honor? a warrior for the working class, a warrior for the middle class? it's becaus

the buffett tax idea is polling at 73%. it's hard to demogog a message that popular. but in the republican mind they think they can. the progressive change campaign committee put out a big message they already raised $375,000 for elizabeth warren's senate race in massachusetts. while that is exciting news for warren supporters, if you take the big picture view of this, this announcement is sort of the financial equivalent of damming with faint praise because here's the big picture. in total, liberal activists say they have raised about $915,000 for elizabeth warren in context against what scott brown has raised. there's elizabeth warren's known money on the left there, in the blue bar. and then -- actually, you know, the bar looks like it goes off the top of the screen. i think we have to pull back a little more here. can we pull back? yeah. i guess we have to pull back a little bit more. a little bit -- okay. still just runs off the top of the screen. pull one more out. can we -- yeah, there we go. all right. see, the problem with getting the graph to scale here is t
